Madras: The Madras High Court has asked the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) to submit an urgent report regarding a petition seeking to stop permission for Maha Shivaratri celebrations at the Isha Foundation. Thousands of devotees are expected to visit the spiritual center throughout the night on February 26, raising concerns over environmental violations.
The Delhi government’s vehicle scrappage policy bans diesel vehicles over 10 years old and petrol vehicles over 15 years from city roads to combat air pollution. The Supreme Court upheld this policy, emphasizing its public interest. Owners are encouraged to scrap or transition to eco-friendly alternatives, with financial incentives provided.
